Symbols
Symbols
You will find the following symbols in these
operating instructions:
*
The asterisk identifies optional

equipment. Since not all models
have the same standard equipment, your COMAND system equipment may deviate from some
descriptions and illustrations.
Warning
Warning notices draw your attention to hazards that may endanger your health or life,
or the health or life of others.
This symbol points to instructions for

you to follow.
A number of these symbols appearing

in succession indicates a multiple-step
procedure.
!
Highlights hazards that may result in
damage to your COMAND.
( page 9)
This symbol tells you where

to look for further information on this subject.

the term immediately following the symbol is also explained in the glossary.
Display
Messages, menu items or

soft key names appearing in
the COMAND color display
are printed in the type

Introduction
Operating safety
Operating safety
Warning
Any alterations made to electronic components and the software can cause malfunctions.
The radio, amplifier, CD changer*, satellite
radio*, telephone* and navigation module
are interconnected. When one of the components is not operational or has not been
removed/replaced properly, the function of
other components may be impaired.
This condition might seriously impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend that you have any service
work on electronic components carried out
only by qualified personnel.
Warning
In order to avoid distraction which could

lead to an accident, the driver should enter
system settings with the vehicle at a standstill and operate the system only when road,
weather and traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just
30 mp/h (approximately 50 km/h), your car
is covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.
COMAND supplies you with information to
help you select your route more easily and
guide you conveniently and safely to your
destination. For safety reasons, we encourage the driver to stop the vehicle in a safe
place before answering or placing a call, or
consulting the COMAND screen to read navigational maps, instructions, or downloaded information.
While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving behavior, including
attention to traffic and street signs, and
should utilize the systems audio cues while
driving.
The navigation system does not supply any
information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic
regulations or traffic safety rules. This always remains your personal responsibility
when you drive. DVD maps do not cover all
areas nor all routes within an area.

or the health or life of others.

Introduction
Operating safety
Operating safety
Warning
Any alterations made to electronic components and the software can cause malfunctions.
The radio, amplifier, CD changer*, satellite
radio*, telephone* and navigation module
are interconnected. When one of the components is not operational or has not been
removed/replaced properly, the function of
other components may be impaired.
This condition might seriously impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend that you have any service
work on electronic components carried out
only by qualified personnel.
Warning

system settings with the vehicle at a standstill and operate the system only when road,
weather and traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just
30 mp/h (approximately 50 km/h), your car
is covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.
COMAND supplies you with information to
help you select your route more easily and
guide you conveniently and safely to your
destination. For safety reasons, we encourage the driver to stop the vehicle in a safe
place before answering or placing a call, or
consulting the COMAND screen to read navigational maps, instructions, or downloaded information.
While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving behavior, including
attention to traffic and street signs, and
should utilize the systems audio cues while
driving.
The navigation system does not supply any
information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic
regulations or traffic safety rules. This always remains your personal responsibility
when you drive. DVD maps do not cover all
areas nor all routes within an area.

Warning
For safety reasons, you should only enter a

destination when the vehicle is stationary.
When the vehicle is in motion, a passenger
should enter the destination. Study manual
and select route before driving.
Do not watch display screen or operate buttons while the vehicle is in motion - let voice
instructions guide you. Stop at a safe location before using buttons or making corrections.
Traffic regulations always have priority over
any route recommendations given.
(approximately 50 km/h), your car is covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.

The route calculated by COMAND is a recommendation on how to best reach your

selected destination.
During route guidance, you will not receive
any information on
Traffic lights
Stop and yield signs
Parking or stopping zones
One-way streets
Narrow bridges
Similar traffic regulation data
You should therefore always strictly observe

traffic regulations while driving. Drive carefully and always obey traffic laws and road
signs even if they contradict COMAND instructions.

The Navigation DVD module contains a

Class 1 laser product. There is a danger of
invisible laser radiation if the cover is opened or damaged.
Do not remove the cover. The Navigation
DVD module does not contain any parts serviceable by the user. For safety reasons,
have any necessary service work performed
